FormBuilder redirect with URL parameter

[rotezecke]

I am using formbuilder (0.8.1.6) with CMSMS 2.2.7 and would like to redirect to a CMSMS page with a URL parameter.
The form is sent to an external action script ("Submit to an arbitrary form action"). That action script is used both by CMSMS and external pages, and it ends with a redirect with URL parameters.
However, FormBuilder has its own settings for Form Submission, which if set to redirect, it will do just that and ignore/overwrite my action scripts redirect (and therefore drop the URL params) OR, if set to "Display Submission Template" i get the redirected page loaded "inline", so the full page would be inside the content block (like an iframe). I cannot (or dont know how to) use sessions, as the action script and CMSMS scope are different. i could use a cookie, but if anyone has another idea how I can pass a variable from my external action script back to CMSMS on form submission, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you.

I managed to resolve this by redirecting (from external php action script) to a plain php file

Code: Select all

header("Location: ".$config['root_url']. "/thankyou_txt.php?eid=$sqlEnquiryID");

that file only contains content

Code: Select all

<?php echo "<p>Your ticket number is <strong>#".$_GET['eid']."</strong>.</p>"; ?>

and in Formbuilder (inline form) I selected to display the Submission template which is empty.
The content area is now being replaced with the content of that little php file.
No idea how / why this works :)
